Be a Queen: Dressage Queen Dream Showcase
Here at EQluxe we love supporting small local brands and equestrian start ups. We came across Dressage Queen Dream, a brand right here in Southern California through our social media channel. Admittedly, I'm not a dressage rider but the purple tones in her collection caught my eye as I'm a sucker for anything purple and the rest is history so to speak. I'm delighted to introduce you to Cariya Breemen and her brand Dressage Queen Dream ( DQD). BEHIND THE BRAND Tell us a little bit about your equestrian background and where you currently reside. Having grown up in [...]
SPA DAY
No, it's not your horse prepping for the next Burning Man. It's also not his/her latest in equine Halloween Costumes. It's a therapeutic treatment called PEMF. We had a wonderful opportunity to meet with Natalie Rietkerk of Triple Crown PEMF, a business she takes on the road to provide therapy for all types of horses from all kinds of disciplines. She even does backyard ponies like ours. So Natalie came out to show us how Smoochy our OTTB might benefit from a treatment. Without spoiling the story, I will say my almost 'senior' boy acts like he's a 4 year [...]

Snuggle Up
As the days get shorter and the nights get longer it's time to snuggle up with a good book. Right? How about we add a little horse girl adventure in there as well?

This award-winning and Amazon bestselling book showcases a riveting story of faith, affection, and adventure that follows the lives of two teenagers as they train to compete in the heart-stopping sport of endurance riding.

Beach Please. Miami Beach Polo rules.
Someone say Beach Polo? I'm in. Granted, It took two days to recover from the travel across the US but I highly recommend the sojourn to anyone who loves horses, fashion, beaches and of course the sport of Polo. World Polo League Beach Polo knows how to roll out an event and it was amazing. The tournament takes place over 3 days on the sands of South Beach between 21st and 22nd street. On the last day of play they include a charitable match this year for Give Back for Special Equestrians. All 3 days are filled with some of [...]
Quick guide to POLO
Polo, where do we start? Well, it's not just a clothing brand donned by Nacho Figueras. Great place to start though. The vision doesn't suck. The game itself is the perfect combination of power, balance, coordination, quick decision making, strategy and skill. I mean in a nutshell you are trying to hit a tiny rolling ball on a moving horse with a 4 foot long mallet while your opponent is trying to prevent you from doing so. Polo is athleticism and horsemanship at it's best. It's a sport all on it's own. It's challenging, complicated and takes a ton of [...]
Idyllic Equestrian
I don't know about you but I dream about a property such as this one. I have a checklist of what would make the perfect equestrian property. This home, with it's reasonable price tag sort of hits the mark. Granted, I'm not much of a winter person. If only I could wrap my head around snow I'd be packing my bags and hauling the ponies to New York tomorrow. Admittedly, as a Southern Californian, I often dream of winter holidays, warm fires and a white Christmas. I often wonder as well what it would be like to live in one [...]

Urban Equestrian
You may have seen the Urban Equestrian logo: The six infused horseshoes signifying GOOD LUCK. Or perhaps you’ve caught a glimpse of their clever ‘Get Lucky’ slogan that spans across most of their promotions. Interestingly enough, ‘luck’ had nothing to do with this successful CHIC equestrian line. Joel Chauran, designer and creative behind Urban Equestrian, had all of the skill of a designer and all of the love for horses he needed to put together this beautiful brand. Joel began his affair with leather goods at a an early age. He grew up as a ‘barn kid’ leading to a [...]
SoCali Equestrian
It’s exciting when you come across a brand and their product is just as wonderful as the people who run the business. I had an immediate connection with SoCali Equestrian after just a few interactions with the company’s lovely co-owners Erin Whitmore and Nancy Choy. So, it’s not too surprising that their love for the equestrian sport and horses comes through in their products. Where to start. Well, a little background on this small but mighty women owned online equestrian boutique. It all started two years ago when two friends based in southern California decided there needed to be a [...]
Dior’s Magical Spring 2021
I've always been a fan of Tarot since I was a young adolescent. I remember holding and playing with an old deck of my older sisters. My girlfriends and I would ask questions and then I'd refer to the old tattered instruction manual that came with the deck as to make sure we were laying the cards out correctly and reading the prophecies in which they bestowed accurately. The readings came naturally to me after a while and my mother told me of my aunt who use to tell fortunes with a deck of playing cards at well heeled cocktail [...]

Talk Derby 2020
So the year has been rather blah. We can admit it. The Derby didn't run in May, The Belmont ran first and here on Labor day weekend we are celebrating the Derby without fans just private invites. All of this pandemic chaos aside, we still have some amazing horses racing towards that garland of roses. Here's where the racers stand today. Finnick the Fierce and King Guillermo scratched. So it looks as if there will be a 16 horse field. Tiz the Law came in this morning with 3-5 odds on winning. I love everything about this horse but I [...]
